Discover powerful hidden social levers and networks within your companyâ¦ then, use that knowledge to make slight tweaks that dramatically improve both business performance and employee fulfillment! In People Analytics, MIT Media Lab innovator Ben Waber shows how sensors and analytics can give you an unprecedented understanding of how your people work and collaborate, and actionable insights for building a more effective, productive, and positive organization. Through cutting-edge case studies, Waber shows how:

Quantifying the failure of marketing and customer service to communicate led to a more cohesive and profitable organization

Tweaking the balance of in-person and electronic communication can enhance the value of both

Sensor data can help you discover who your internal experts really are

Identifying employees involved in creative behaviors can help you promote innovation throughout your business

Sensors and simulations can help you optimize your sick-day policies

Measuring informal interactions can improve the chances that a merger, acquisition, or mega-project will succeed

Drawing on his cutting-edge work at MIT and Harvard, Waber addresses crucial issues ranging from technology to privacy, revealing what will be possible in a few years, and what you can achieve right now. In bringing the power of analytics to organizational development, he offers immense new opportunities to everyone with responsibility for workplace performance.
